Such a lovely place! My husband and I enjoyed a lovely date night here on our vacation to Manchester. We loved our Kentucky Mules, our main dishes (Buffalo Mac & Cheese and Fried Steak) and dessert (Peach Fritters). Everything was very yummy! The staff is so wonderful as well. Everyone was very welcoming and even the chef came by to check in on our experience. Definitely recommend!

Super cute and cozy atmosphere, service was great and the food was somehow even better. I haven’t had anything remotely close to this since living in Kansas City. It’s a little pricey but you get what you pay for. Even my Mule was incredible. The blackened catfish, collard greens and grits were amazing. Will definitely be coming back!

Food was great, fried pickles, brisket, pulled pork & cheddar sausage was all delish. We wanted to sit outside – told they didn’t have anything (there were at least 10 open tables out there where not a single person or table was sat the entire time we were there even though people were dining outside when we arrived). We waited over 10 min to get water, another 10 for our drinks (the waitress forgot what I ordered when she brought out the other drinks so that was even longer), another 15-20 min to even order food and 30 min for it to arrive… We would have gotten another drink if she ever asked or cleared the obviously empty glasses from the table. We had to ask for BBQ sauce, we ordered BBQ from a BBQ joint…? Never got the side of spicy ranch we asked for either. We were not the only ones put off by the lack of service. It’s not like they had to smoke the brisket for each table – there were 7 tables with people inside and 3 outside… No reason for the less than timely attention or rate of food delivery. Especially for the price…

Y’all made me look so smooth on my one year anniversary dinner. We came in with reservations, didn’t need them but the system was easy and probably a safe bet. They had a wine special so we went with the Vedder option at a ridiculously inexpensive price, think it was a special they were running. The bbq my wife got was top quality, my fried chicken was decent but I’d recommend going a different route. Cornbread is a must, don’t ignore that!! If Lydia is working the bar section is a good bet, she knows the menu like she wrote it.

When you walk in you know the place is brand spanking new (you can smell the new smell). Our take on our order starting with apps. Crab dip is a must try. Fried green tomatoes are too but the tomatoes need a little love of seasoning, remoulade was on the spot.

This place has the best brisket I’ve ever had in my life, truly. It was falling apart, so moist, and had an amazing bark. The portions were significant; I expected just a slice or two of brisket and got much more (and the slices were thick). I highly recommend this place for dinner!!!

AMAZING food! We’re from Texas originally and aren’t easily impressed with BBQ and Chicken Fried Steak. Both the food and staff are amazing. Awesome menu and ambiance. They opened Thursday and we’re already back tonight!

Pearls has some very unique items uncommon for our area. Even with a newly renovated and beautiful restaurant that includes a small shop with local products, the menu is of course the real star. From BBQ to seafood, theres really something for everyone. My first (because I’ll obviously be going back) meal was the BBQ plate, where you choose from various BBQ options. I played it safe with Pulled Pork and Brisket. It also comes with 2 types of BBQ sauce for variety. Honestly I couldn’t carry a conversation during dinner, as the food was so good I was completely transfixed on my course. Great place, great staff, and of course great food!

If I could give it a 6, I would! Excellent Southern cooking. The biscuits are to die for. The corn fritters are a must. Excellent staff. The atmosphere was great.

We’ve waited a while to try Pearls, drive by almost daily, we should have tried it sooner! It’s a beautiful restaurant space built with attention to details and is immaculately clean. Super friendly staff, nice craft beer selection, and a creative menu with excellent food with unique flavors.
